Max Brooks ‘Extinction Parade’ Picked Up By Legendary Television

World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide author Max Brooks has another project being adapted for the small screen.

Legendary Television has optioned Brooks’ comic Extinction Parade for series, and Brooks himself will write the pilot episode.

Brooks states that “I only brought the idea to one company, Legendary, because they do the kind of quality work of which any writer would be proud. While the comic series from Avatar continues, I am thrilled to be working with Legendary to develop Extinction Parade into an innovative new series for television.”

“Max Brooks is a visionary with an incredible ability to tell stories that deliver a fresh approach to the horrors that haunt our nightmares,” Publisher of Avatar Press William Christensen added. “His work on Extinction Parade has been a stunningly rich tapestry of cultures in decline and a biting indictment of the perils of privilege. It will make the perfect television series to appeal to fans who have until now settled for thinly veiled soap operas parading as horror.”

The official series description reads that “In a world where the zombie plague has put the human race on the endangered species list, another predatory undead species realizes that to stand by idly means the end of their food supply. Vastly outnumbered by the zombie hordes, vampires descend into all-out subdead war, with humanity caught in the crossfire.”
